For those that think in words how fast, linear and normal is your inner monologue? For those who don't think in words, how would you describe what it's like?
Do you have layers of your inner voice going at once?
Do you think anything like you talk?
How are measuring and assessing this? Try this experiment: Say the sentence "I wonder if inner speech is faster or slower than outer speech", first in inner speech, then in outer speech (or the other way around). Did one seem faster than the other?
how on topic does it say before it jumps to something else unconsciously
Are the voices in your head rather incessant or restless, and the energy connected with them is, likewise, restless? Or calm and logical, methodical? Do you have any diagnoses?
In an interview in The Atlantic of Charles Fernyhough's * Voices Within*, a book about inner speech. According to the article, one (uncited) researcher cited in the book claims the pace of inner speech averages about 4000 words per minute which is ten times faster than oral speech
some phmenological research on speech categorises the four kinds aa:dialogicality(inner speech that occurs as a back-and-forth conversation),evaluative/motivation

i think people confuse thinking with verbalizing, thinking happens behind that, verbalizing is probably an attempt to understand that and is usually prevalent among people with high verbal iq, who care to record such as opposed to someone who is more interested in practicing it, tradesman vs engineer if you, both understand what needs to be done, but the engineer goes further using language to generalize that to include everything that should be done in whatever circumstance whereas a tradesman sees some problem, remembers some similar solution, pictures what needs doing and does it, theres's no verbalizing about modality as he is unable to generalize problems, every problem is unique and different, some high iq people with both verbal and spatial exceptional score are able to employ both to come up with completely original ideas to simple everyday problems that generalize well enough to more complex ones

Faster but less useful to solve problems.
